I am a relative newcomer to the game. Started playing over a year ago, but I didn't get serious until January 2003. Hikaru no Go (the manga) had a lot to do with that. I've played a lot on KGS (currently 26k) but only a few times OTB.
Stefan: Welcome to SL. If you bump into 'arthur' on KGS, don't hesitate to propose a game.
